OK, I did a search and couldn't find an answer.

Will the new 17X8 wheels on the GT swap over to a SN95 Cobra? Will it have the same bolt pattern and offset?

If so, the 18X9 wheels that are due next year would also interchange.

Thanks

For what I read in previous posts they are not the same bolt pattern/offset.

Thanks guys. I don't know how I missed that post.

I had to read it twice. It seems the bolt pattern is the same (5X4.5), but the new wheel has more offset which causes the wheel to be pushed out more on the S197 GT)? In other words, a SN95 wheel (example the 95R wheel) would probably look funny as it would mount more "inside" the wheel opening (and probably rub on suspension parts)??

Actually, an SN-95 wheel with less offset on a S197 would stick "out" of the wheel well, not in.
